Car Hire
In Northern Cyprus taxis are easily available and there is a regular bus service (known as the Dolmus). However, we would recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around and sightseeing. Driving in Northern Cyprus is relatively uncomplicated; they drive on the same side as us in the UK, use the same signage and the road systems/layouts are very straight forward. The roads are relatively quiet (apart from the odd nutty driver!) and it is difficult to get lost. All you will need is your driving licence, passport and be aged 18 or over.
We advise you to book from the UK and it is really IMPORTANT you DO NOT book car hire from the South of Cyprus. Cars hired on the South of Cyprus CANNOT be driven in the North (despite what some car hire companies will tell you!) You will have to arrange transfers to Northern Cyprus from Southern Cyprus in a taxi (Please refer to Airport transfers tab)
For those with babies it is important for you to check with the car hire companies/taxi companies about baby seats in cars; Cyprus is not as strict as the UK and this service may or may not always be available.
